Hi there  
I have a project where I need to integrate the ibs-m2 into home assistant, but this model is not supported  
and because of that, I’m trying to communicate directly with the device to get his data and then pass it to home assistant.

Does anyone know if is there an API?, or if it will be released one for the ibs-M2

What is the protocol the sensor uses to send data to other devices?

Thanks

Hello,  
Sorry, currently the API is not provided.

Please report that I would happily spend money on your products _if_ there was a way to integrate them into home assistant (and I don’t mean Bluetooth)

I’ll be the first to admit this is a hacky solution, but I reverted to the old open-api and added the sensor. You can install it via HACS now:
